  1. During the 90s ccg boom Decipher put out a Star Trek TNG card game. It wasn't great, particularly because of the effectiveness of rare cards and there being no resource system to play cards. But it tried to stick to the TNG ethos where victory was from missions completed through teamwork. Combat was bad (in the gameplay sense), though I recall it got better as they added the Borg and the Dominion as factions. Like Decipher's Star Wars ccg it ended up a bloated mess with too many layered systems, but it was always trying to be Trek and nothing but Trek.

    That all said, Zhalfir looks absolutely amazing.

  9. It should be illegal for user interfaces to engage with users on a personal level, per se. I’m serious.
    At least, they should disclose very clearly that they're actively messing with your dopamine system while doing it.

  21. I love the panic in the #Canadian news, "85% of the cloud computing market is occupied by 3 big #USAnian companies! We must build our own cloud to keep Canadians' personal and private data in Canada!"

    Brother, what would you say if I told you there's another way to ensure no Canadian's data ends up on #computers belonging to a big American company?

  29. So my local Board of Elections was kind enough to send me a postcard informing me that there were no non-partisan elections coming up next month for the primary, and therefore I wouldn't need to come to the polls, as I can't vote in them.

    In other words, I'm in a closed primary state, where only the Democrats vote for their ilk, the Fasc^H^H^H^HRepublicans vote for theirs, and the winners of each go on to meet each other in the General in November. In other words, the playoffs, but for politics.

    Which is how it should be, really, if parties are to mean anything. Of course, I do not vote like seemingly everyone else around me votes - they treat it like it's Survivor, apparently - so several states have, to my feelings, weirder ways of doing it. As an example, I think California has something called the "jungle primary" where literally everyone gets on the same ballot and they take the top two for a runoff, which is so mindbogglingly stupid that the person responsible should be beaten with a stick.

    Of course, I also know about election methods, and wish that we could have Mixed Member Proportional for the legislature and maybe a Condorcet for single member seats (I'd accept AV or STV), but I'm in such a vanishingly small minority in that respect - as I discovered during my political career - that I soon realized that staying quiet about things was for the best. (I'm certainly not going to join up with the Republican or Democratic Parties for what should be obvious reasons.)

    Side note: There's also Delegative, or "Liquid" Democracy, which I really find innovative, and we have the technology to pull it off, but again, we'd need to come to some sort of understanding about what #democracy is actually designed to do, and considering we're still having the "debate" about the Electoral Fucking College, I have no illusions of anything guided by a modicum of reason penetrating into the public consciousness in the foreseeable future.

  43. I hate the modern internet. Trying to get the weight of a Tesla battery a website tells me this:
    "The battery for the Model S weighs 1,200 lbs. The Model S also has the longest range out of all Tesla’s cars, which is why it has such a heavy battery. The Model 3 has a battery weight of 1,060 lbs. The Model X has a battery weighing 1,183 lbs. Model Y has a battery that weighs 1,700 lbs."
    The Y is the same as the 3 and the S is the same as the X. The S/X is heavier than the 3/Y by a lot. So this is complete bullshit.
